FRIDAY FACE: One the sublime pleasures of our line of work is the opportunity to meet extraordinary beauties from all four corners of the earth. For example, ravishing Rasika @rasikanavare of India (for a real treat look up her work for the renown Indian Couturier Sabyasachi).
Wine-stained lips by STILA-Star Sarah Lucero @sarahluceroglam @stilacosmetics (the exact shade of liquid lipstick is called “Rubino”) and serpentine gloves by Dita Von Teese @ditavonteesegloves. #fridayface#rasikanavare#redlips#winelips#winelipstick#sarahluceroglam#sarahluceromakeup#sanchezzalba#albertsanchez

“Largely due to Drag Race, the art of drag has reached an unprecedented level of mainstream exposure. A Star Is Born is a huge movie, one that will likely win at least a couple Oscars. It's exciting to see drag included "with authenticity," as Shangela put it. "Sometimes drag is a punch line in a movie, but this is not so," she said. "It's a slice of life. It's a real experience. I'm so happy. I just want to say 'Halleloo!' like a thousand times.’”
...an excerpt from a PAPER @papermagazine interview with A Star is Born’s breakout Drag Stars, William and Shangela (sweet justice indeed!) Shangela @itsshangela was photographed here for PAPER at Dragcon 2018 in L.A. @rupaulsdragcon (to read the whole PAPER article cut-and-paste the link at bottom). #shangela#justiceforshangela#rupaulsdragrace#dragrace#rupaulsdragcon#rupaulsdragcon2018#dragcon#dragcon2018#paper#papermag#papermagazine#wowreport#rupaulsdragrace#sanchezzalba#albertsanchez

“Just because I’m black and just because I’m tall and thin and gorgeous doesn’t mean that you’re gonna get the top experience of your life — you might if you play your cards right” The Vixen
The preceding quote is excerpted from Kindr Ep.1, the first of a recently launched video series from Grindr that finally addresses the subject of sexual racism on their platform. We applaud them for taking action and for casting The Vixen whose forthright character is put to great use. Another quote from the outspoken Diva (cut and paste the link at bottom to see the video for yourself): “Today we’re doing something that’s about getting people to treat each other better but I think we also have to learn to love ourselves. If you want to be whatever you want to be and that makes you feel sexy that’s what you should be doing.”

In celebration, a previously unseen image of Dita wearing “The Whiplash” gloves paired with her eponymous lingerie line @ditavonteeselingerie as styled by @lauraduncanart. In her own words:
My polished python Whiplash opera gloves satisfy my desire to add a fetishistic element to my wardrobe in a highly sophisticated manner. Luxurious, dramatic gloves are the height of glamour, a hallmark of signature style that won’t be forgotten.

OUT NOW: “Shannon Purser Is a Movie Star” Vanity Fair has declared, in response to her universally acclaimed performance in Netflix’s “Sierra Burgess is a Loser”. Here is an excerpt from the accompanying interview (cut-and-paste the link at bottom to read the whole thing):
Indeed, Sierra is flush with self-confidence, and doesn’t obsess over her looks or outsider status. “She doesn’t really fall into a stereotype...She is a complex and nuanced character [whose] greatest struggles are with herself”
In celebration of her star-turning role a Norma Jean-seque image from last year, with hair and wardrobe styled by Jon @jonlieckfeltbeauty and maquillage by Gregory @gregoryarlt, who were also the catalyst behind this shoot (thanks guys — what a privilege to be present at the birth of a star! @shannonpurser) #shannonpurser#jonlieckfeltbeauty#gregoryarltbeauty#sanchezzalba#albertsanchez

My limited edition #vinyl release of #SoundtrackForSeduction
will be available to preorder starting Valentine’s Day! Seduction is an art best stirred by music, and the soundtrack for my life has always been drawn from a variety of unexpected pleasures. On one side of the album there are favorite classics and previously unreleased music made just for my #burlesque shows, and on the flip side, sensual electronica from creators I love, including Röyksopp, Blood Orange, Monarchy and more. In addition to the original vinyl, autographed and lipstick kissed💋 copies will also be available. Pre-order begins February 14th at

TEESE TUESDAY: Another image of dreamy Dita @ditavonteese from the same shoot, but not featured in "Your Beauty Mark" (the book is absolutely packed with great images by great photographers). In this image, as well as the last, Dita is wearing vintage hats and accessories from her own illustrious collection. In this image a plumed bonnet is paired with the cutest gingham pumps by master couturier Christian LaCroix (as featured in one of his latter, legendary Haute Couture shows). #teesetuesday#ditavonteese#dita#yourbeautymark#albertsanchez#sanchezzalba

TEESE TUESDAY: An image of divine Dita @ditavonteese illustrating the "Pit Stop" segment of Chapter 5 (titled "Strip, Tweeze") from her best-selling beauty bible "Your Beauty Mark". This section of the text concerns the axilla, a lovely word for armpit we learned from the book (which is absolutely packed with information, both esoteric and practical). #teesetuesday#ditavonteese#dita#yourbeautymark#albertsanchez#sanchezzalba

TEESE TUESDAY: Another image of Dita @ditavonteese from the same shoot, that doesn't appear in "Your Beauty Mark". The mise en scéne for these images was inspired by the private Polaroids of genius polymath Carlo Mollino. He would often shoot his curvaceous subjects against a bamboo screen, sometimes paired with one of his equally curvy, sensuous chairs, all meticulously styled by Carlo himself (copy and paste the link at the bottom to see examples and read more on him and his art). Mollino would have LOVED to photograph Dita! Devil-may-care 'do by Blaine @johnblaine7, perfect pout by Kathy Jueng @kathyjeung, and seductive styling by costuming phenom, Trish Summerville @mztsummerville. #teesetuesday#ditavonteese#dita#yourbeautymark#glamour#vintagelamour#beauty#beautyphotography#beautiful#albertsanchez#sanchezzalba

TEESE TUESDAY: "While a beauty mark shouldn't demand all the attention, the most effectual ones act as a kind of pointer, a beacon to the best parts." This quote is drawn from "Mark the Spot", the 12th chapter of "Your Beauty Mark" as is this déshabillé image of delectable Dita @ditavonteese (and congrats to Dita and Rose @roseapodaca on the second printing!) Tousled yet lush locks by John "The Master" Blaine @johnblaine7, precise, perfect (as always) maquillage by Kathy Jueng @kathyjeung, and scintillating wardrobe styling by costuming phenom, Trish Summerville @mztsummerville. #teesetuesday#ditavonteese#dita#yourbeautymark#glamour#vintagelamour#beauty#beautyphotography#beautiful#albertsanchez#sanchezzalba

ABOUT LAST LAST NIGHT: Two glamorous eccentrics of the highest order, Dita Von Teese @ditavonteese and Mathu Andersen @mathuism, photographed here at Wednesday night's party for Dita's book with Rose Apodaca @roseapodaca "Your Beauty Mark" hosted by @houseofherrera at @ericbuterbaugh's beautiful gallery and garden. #ditavonteese#mathuandersen#yourbeautymark#pedrozalba#sanchezzalba

TEESE TUESDAY: And in a note on the wardrobe styling, here Dita @ditavonteese is wearing the evocatively named "Follow Me" dress from the Dita Von Teese collection. In her own words: "This is designed after a dress from the 1950s that I have worn over and over for about eleven years, and I always get compliments on it. It is timeless and glamorous, which makes it the perfect cocktail dress. I like to wear mine with different vintage brooches from my collection on the shoulder. I have worn this dress over the years on red carpets, to parties and for many a romantic rendezvous. We remade this dress with a luxurious silk lining and silk chiffon, and Im especially happy to have an improved version of the original dress in my wardrobe."

TEESE TUESDAY-OUT NOW: Today marks the release of "Your Beauty Mark" the ultimate guide to eccentric glamour by Dita Von Teese @ditavonteese with Rose Apodaca @roseapodaca!

TEESE TUESDAY: @ditavonteese ・・・
For those interested in the sold out "Xxxtian" lingerie collaboration I did with my dear friend Christian Louboutin, the very last of these pieces have just arrived @harrods. This risqué toile print of me feather fan dancing and perched in my birdcage originally appeared on a pair of shoes and bags from the @louboutinworld collection, and now it's here on fine Italian silk in a very limited quantity. This 1940s style dressing gown with billowing sleeves is probably my favorite thing to wear from everything I've done! ・・・
